by Rachel FriedmanOne of Publishers Weekly&’s Best Books of 2019 A journey through the many ways to live an artistic life—from the flashy and famous to the quiet and steady—full of unexpected insights about creativity and contentment, from the author of The Good Girl&’s Guide to Getting Lost.Rachel Friedman was a serious violist as a kid. She quit music in college but never stopped fantasizing about what her life might be like if she had never put down her bow. Years later, a freelance writer in New York, she again finds herself struggling with her fantasy of an artist&’s life versus its much more complicated reality. In search of answers, she decides to track down her childhood friends from Interlochen, a prestigious arts camp she attended, full of aspiring actors, artists, dancers, and musicians, to find out how their early creative ambitions have translated into adult careers, relationships, and identities. Rachel&’s conversations with these men and women spark nuanced revelations about creativity and being an artist: that it doesn&’t have to be all or nothing, that success isn&’t always linear, that sometimes it&’s okay to quit. And Then We Grew Up is for anyone who has given up a childhood dream and wondered &“what-if?&”, for those who have aspired to do what they love and had doubts along the way, and for all whose careers fall somewhere between emerging and established. Warm, whip-smart, and insightful, it offers inspiration for finding creative fulfillment wherever we end up in life.

Secret Loves: Women with Two Lives
by Sonya Friedman Sondra ForsythOver a two-year period the authors interviewed 113 married women who are or have been involved in long-term, committed extramarital relationships. The authors present this "two-track lifestyle" with compassion, as a means women have found to survive in flawed marriages while still getting the love, intimacy, and sexual gratification they need to be whole. Because these women are determined to preserve their marriages, they guard their secret lives fiercely. The authors conclude that this phenomenon is probably much more widespread than most people imagine.

Leading the Life You Want: Skills for Integrating Work and Life
by Stewart D. Friedman"For nearly thirty years, my life's work has been to help people like you find ways to bring the often warring aspects of life into greater harmony. " - Stew Friedman, from Leading the Life You Want You're busy trying to lead a "full" life. But does it really feel full-or are you stretched too thin? Enter Stew Friedman, Wharton professor, adviser to leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the misguided metaphor of "work/life balance" with something more realistic and sustainable. If you're seeking "balance" you'll never achieve it, argues Friedman. The idea that "work" competes with "life" ignores the more nuanced reality of our humanity-the interaction of four domains: work, home, community, and the private self. The goal is to create harmony among them instead of thinking only in terms of trade-offs. It can be done. Building on his national bestseller, Total Leadership, and on decades of research, teaching, and practice as both consultant and senior executive, Friedman identifies the critical skills for integrating work and the rest of life. He illustrates them through compelling original stories of these remarkable people: - former Bain & Company CEO and Bridgespan co-founder Tom Tierney - Facebook COO and bestselling author Sheryl Sandberg - nonprofit leader and US Navy SEAL Eric Greitens - US First Lady Michelle Obama - soccer champion-turned-broadcaster Julie Foudy - renowned artist Bruce Springsteen Each of these admirable (though surely imperfect) people exemplifies a set of skills-for being real, being whole, and being innovative-that produce a sense of purpose, coherence, and optimism. Based on interviews and research, their stories paint a vivid picture of how six very different leaders use these skills to act with authenticity, integrity, and creativity-and they prove that significant public success is accomplished not at the expense of the rest of life, but as the result of meaningful engagement in all its parts. With dozens of practical exercises for strengthening these skills, curated from the latest research in organizational psychology and related fields, this book will inspire you, inform you, and instruct you on how to take realistic steps now toward leading the life you truly want.

Zen Cancer Wisdom: Tips for Making Each Day Better
by Suzaanne FriedmanWith a much-needed sense of levity, Daju Suzanne Friedman teaches the art of keeping one's body, mind, and spirit together while living with cancer."Layman Wang once asked his attendant,'What would you do if a dragon suddenly arrived here?' His attendant answered, 'I wouldn't pay attention to anything else.' This is how it feels when you've been diagnosed with cancer. Your attention and focus shift dramatically towards just this one thing. While single-minded focus can be beneficial, it is also important to remember that you are more than your diagnosis, and that there is more to life than being a patient." --from the introduction In Zen Cancer Wisdom, Daju Suzanne Friedman--Zen teacher, Chinese medicine doctor, and Qigong specialist--shares the inspirations, insights, and humor that helped her to continue to live fully in the face of cancer.

Each chapter begins with an anecdote drawn from the Zen tradition, followed by personal reflection, and a brief guided practice specifically for cancer patients. Pocket-sized, with short, buoyant chapters, and meditation exercises designed to be practicable anywhere in only a few minutes time, Zen Cancer Wisdom is the perfect companion book for cancer patients.
1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments: Of Which We Could Remember Only 254
by Tom FriedmanThe president who left the nuclear launch codes in a suit at the dry cleaners. The novelist who put the orange juice outside and the kitten in the refrigerator. The Russian general who left home in full military dress . . . minus his pants. The famous sex goddess who blew the same line through 52 takes. And the rock star who no longer remembers 1975.

And now it is updated, revised with more than 20 percent new stories, and repackaged in two color, making it an even more vibrant, visually appealing, fresh, and compellingly readable book.

Here’s a best man forgetting to show up at the wedding, a musician leaving his priceless cello in a cab, the bank robber who wrote a holdup note on a paycheck stub that had his name and address printed on it, and the Fox studio chief who, when pressed by his leading lady to remember her name, offered “. . .

Subconscious Power: Use Your Inner Mind to Create the Life You've Always Wanted
by Kimberly FriedmutterActivate the raw power of your subconscious to create the life you've always wanted, using six essential lessons from one of the world’s most renowned hypnotherapists.Unsatisfying careers. Volatile, unhealthy relationships. Unfulfilled dreams. Too many of us are living lives that fall short of what we truly desire. But as celebrity hypnotist Kimberly Friedmutter explains in this life-changing book, not only is it possible to design the life of your dreams, but the power to do so lies within you, in your subconscious mind. The subconscious is the root of your true power and desire; it's your inner eight-year-old, your authentic self. It is the honest compass that will lead you to a life of happiness, so long as you are able to follow its direction. We all have the power to access it—children do so effortlessly—but as we grow up we’re taught to stop daydreaming and to follow society’s rules, which makes us disconnect from our subconscious, often with tragic results. In Subconscious Power, Kimberly guides you through six principles that bring your conscious mind in line with your subconscious desires. She shares practical, three-minute exercises that will help you transform your relationships, find true love, lose weight after years of struggling with the scale, overcome addictions, and achieve new career successes and heights. Featuring inspiring success stories and the practical tools you need to make meaningful change, Subconscious Power will empower you to stop being a passive participant in a life you don't love, and to actively choose the life you truly desire.

75 consejos para sobrevivir en el campamento. Manual patentado por mí misma (y por María Frisa) para hacerte la vida más fácil
by María FrisaLa vida a los 12 años puede ser bastante difícil: eres la única sin Facebook, tu ropa es un asco, no tienes novio y tus padres te meten en un campamento de verano sin ni siquiera consultarte... Por eso he patentado este manual: si yo sobreviví, tu también puedes lograrlo. <P><P>Sara anhela desesperadamente poder asistir al campamento de Inglés que organiza su escuela en vacaciones... al menos eso le ha dicho a sus padres; si fuera por ella, se quedaría en casa viendo la tele y jugando videojuegos durante todo el verano. Pero como sabe que esa no es una opción, ha decidido aplicar la psicología inversa: pedir que la envíen a ese campamento carísimo para que le nieguen el capricho y así pueda quedarse en casa. <P>Desafortunadamente, las cosas no salen como lo planeó y sus padres, esta vez, deciden que harán un esfuerzo y la mandarán a ese campamento, como un premio y para que pueda conocer y convivir con nuevos chicos, pero y ¿qué pasa con sus enemigos? Sara lo tiene claro: si va al campamento tendrá cerca a Marina y a Pollo, sus mejores amigos, pero también tendrá que convivir con la odiosa de Rebeca y su séquito. <P>Una vez que llega al campamento decide que quizá estar lejos de casa y de su hermana menor no sea tan malo aunque la comida sea incomible, los baños pareciera que son una broma, las tiendas de campaña parezcan de pitufos, las clases de inglés seam horribles y su peor enemiga resulte que no es tan mala como el chico al que acaba de conocer, un tal Hugo. Aún así, intentará que este sea el mejor verano de sus vidas. ¿Podrá Sara salirse con la suya?
